An excellent actor. playing a marvellous part, in a wonderful movie. And shouldn't that be Saint Sir Thomas More, rather than with the vulgar virgule?

Oh right... he played the French King in Henry V (1989) with Kenneth Branagh... one of my favorite films/plays.

From the Roman Catholic perspective, always Saint Thomas More. From the Anglican perspective, always Sir Thomas More. Never both, until Rome and Canterbury kiss and make up.
